2012

Hello 2012! Brand new year brand new things are happening!
Going back to Lubbock to visit -- I don't realize how much has changed until I ... realize it! Crazy how that works.

Talking to Nickolai -- I made the connection about some work - I was thinking about pursuing for a grad application I was filling out last year. I had a plan to combine a multitude of audio interviews about individuals lives from all walks of life into one narrative. In an attempt to create one universal existence -- being human and alive.

People are my main interest. And I have this fascination I guess - to gather stories - to analyze behaviors and try to link them back to events or traumas or positive reinforcements -- How does this person tick? How can knowing this person lead me to knowing about myself further.

Is that selfish to ask? I have pondered this very thing many times before but I always come back to -- we only know ourselves - we can empathize with others but only by wondering how we would feel in their shoes.

So - in knowing someone else -- we know more about ourselves.

more to come but i am tired now... goodnight
